Denise Deniger

About Me

A former competitive bodybuilder and circus artist, Denise Deniger continues to use movement and meditation as the foundational practices of her personal evolution as both student and teacher of yoga and meditation.

Denise has been immersed in the practice since 1996 and has completed thousands of hours of training in yoga asana and philosophy, massage therapy, Thai Massage, Reiki, meditation, Tibetan Buddhist studies and iRest Yoga Nidra.

Denise is inspired by the delightful things in life and her classes and teachings reflect that sense of joyful effort and playful ease. But don’t mistake this sense of lightness and fun for wimpy. She’s a powerhouse who will inspire you to find your own inner roar.

Denise and her husband are co-founders of Inner Jewel Dharma, a not-for-profit community that offers a modern interpretation of time-tested Dharma through study, meditation, yoga, service, and retreat in order to learn to live with greater compassion and wisdom.
